Years of conversation fill a ton of digital pages, and we've kept all of it accessible to browse or copy over. Whether you're looking for reveal articles for older champions, or the first time that Rammus rolled into an "OK" thread, or anything in between, you can find it here. When you're finished, check out the boards to join in the latest League of Legends discussions.

NOTE: Tribunal and LeaverBuster are designed to be complementary to each other so that even players who leave only a few times (as part of a broader pattern of toxic behavior that includes other violation types) get punished accordingly.

As others have explained, the leaver penalty will decrease the more you play without disconnecting.

However, further disconnects could end up increasing your leaver penalty.

The obvious solution is to not drop out of games in the future. If you find that you're running out of time when playing Summoner's Rift, try playing a Dominion game, which usually only lasts around 20 minutes.

However, if you find you are disconnecting due to circumstances outside your control, such as network failure or game crashes, then I would recommend contacting one of our Tech Support Specialists so they can troubleshoot the issue that may be causing these problems.

12. LeaverBuster is the only system that handles AFK and Leavers so AFK/Leaver reports never reach the Tribunal. AFK/Leaver reports DO reach the Tribunal because both systems work to fill in each other's gaps and weaknesses.

Actually, this is the unfortunate problem. Allowing permanently banned players another chance is an extremely damaging cost. Do you know what the success rate of the Level 20 Challenge was? 5%. Do you know that for each person, they clearly outlined the toxic behaviors and had 1 on 1 conversations with the players to try to improve their behavior? These are players that were hand-picked by Player Support staff because they felt the pleas from these players were genuine. The success rate was still 5%.

Do you know how many games on average these players played? 100 games / month. When a permanently banned player fails to reform, they are creating miserable experiences for hundreds, maybe thousands of players a month. That's not a cheap cost or a low risk and I cannot consciously justify that.

Those are called Crests of Honor. It's possible to 'lose' them if you do not continue to be Honorable. The reason it does not take 100 or more Honor to unlock the Crests is because it's actually difficult to keep them. You have to continue to be Honorable game after game to stay a pillar of our community.
